Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Haakon Riiser]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Mozilla crashes when opening the attached HTML code as a local file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save the attached HTML document locally
2. Open it locally: firefox file://$PWD/crash.html
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox starts with a dialog complaining that the referenced object file
foo.html doesn't exist.  Once I click the OK button, Mozilla dies with this error:

run-mozilla.sh: line 159:  4078 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}


This crash can only be reproduced locally, and the referenced object file,
foo.html, must _not_ exist.  Verified on Firefox 1.0.2, 1.0.3 and 1.0.4
(all of them Mozilla.org's prebuilt binaries).

Here's some system info:

slackware 10.1
glibc 2.3.4
linux 2.6.11.11
x.org 6.8.2
gtk+ 2.6.7
glib 2.6.4

Firefox 1.5b1 is not affected by this bug.  Verified on:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Should I close this bug now, even though it is still present in 1.0.7?

Yeah, I'm going to close this bug as WFM per comment 2 and 3. The 1.0.x branch is no longer supported.
